Using the Room Request System (VEMS)

Lewis & Clark’s Web Room Request System (VEMS) is a great tool to browse scheduled classes and special events. In addition, faculty and staff are invited to submit requests for event space using the system. We ask that students contact our office directly for event planning and scheduling assistance, rather than using the VEMS system.

Set up your VEMS account

Faculty and staff, to set up your personal VEMS account, please send an email message including your full name, campus phone number, and department/organization affiliation to the Office of Conferences and Events, events@lclark.edu.
